            <h1>Welcome to The Future</h1>
            <p>
              The world has changed dramatically since 1991, when 
              <a href="http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/" target="blank">Tim-Berners Lee</a>
              invented the <acronym title="World Wide Web">WWW</acronym>. The advent
              of offerings like Google, Wikipedia, Pandora, and Facebook have changed
              the way we study, the way we live, the way we work. Does it stun you,
              to realize that in the last 10 years we have broken free from being
              chained to our computers at home, now having even more powerful machines in our pocket?</p>
            <h2>
              All of these great advances...and we've <em>barely scratched the surface</em>
              of what software has to offer.
            </h2>

                 target="_blank">The Mythical Man Month</a>, described:
            </p>
            <blockquote>
                The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff.
                He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination.
                Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures...
                Yet the program construct, unlike the poet's words, is real in the sense that it moves and works, producing visible outputs separate from the construct itself...
                the magic of myth and legend has come true in our time.
                One types the correct incantation on a keyboard, and a display comes to life,
                showing things that never were nor could be. (The Mythical Man Month 7 - 8)
